Our new website: Which path is mine?

Almost everyone comes to us with this question. Our new website helps you find the answer – with the Weight Doctors® Compass, all treatments compared, portraits of our doctors and online booking around the clock.

New since 16 October 2026

New from the first page to the last

Our new website has been online since 16 October 2026 – on all six Weight Doctors® country sites, from weight-doctors.de to weight-doctors.co.za. We have rebuilt it from the ground up with one aim: you should get to the answer you are looking for more quickly.

Because today there are many options between a medication and an operation – and there are good reasons for each of them. The new website organises them for you: clearly explained, with procedure, duration and price, and with the people who treat you.

“The challenge in modern obesity medicine today is to make the most suitable therapy possible for each of our patients. Because never before has there been such a large number of such effective and promising approaches.”

Dr. med. Oliver Scheffel, specialist in general and bariatric surgery

The Weight Doctors® Compass

Five questions,
an initial overview

The Weight Doctors® Compass awaits you right on the home page: how much would you like to lose, how high is your BMI, what is your goal – and how do you feel about medication and about a procedure? After five questions, you can see which paths could suit you.

The Compass calculates your BMI only on your side, on your device – nothing is sent.

The Compass provides initial guidance. It does not replace a medical consultation.

From gentle to surgical

All paths,
side by side

From GLP-⁠1 pharmacotherapy to the gastric balloon and the Weight Doctors SLEEVE® to weight-loss surgery: each treatment has its own page with procedure, duration, price and the most frequently asked questions. In the treatment comparison, you tap two therapies and see them side by side.

The costs are laid out openly too: under Costs & prices you will find all prices, along with when your German health insurer can cover the costs and how you can pay in instalments. For stomach reduction covered by German statutory health insurance, you do not need to submit an application in advance with us – we handle the communication with your health insurer.

People, not a catalogue

Who treats you

39 doctors in five countries: surgery, internal medicine, gastroenterology and plastic surgery, always according to the specialist principle. On the new website, all of them introduce themselves – with photo, career and the locations where you can meet them.

The most convincing are the people who have already walked their path. Under Experiences, patients show their transformation – in before-and-after pictures and in the 3D Bodyscan, which compares weight, body fat and waist circumference before and after.
